| On the route up Pea Gravel Ridge. Heather Canyon to the left and Newton Clark drainage to the right. The best thing about this climb was the discovery of a bunch of fabulous lines in the drainage below the Newton-Clark Glacier. Will definitely be a return trip. |
|
| Matt Hollywoodin' at 7K. Our route followed the obvious ridgetop sidewalk behind us. |
|
| Onward... We topped out this day at the base of that basalt pyramid center left of the picture. The Wy'East face is immediately above the pyramid's pinnacle. |
|
| Upper Heather Canyon, Feb 17, 2000. Mt Hood Meadows access to the Canyon is at the 'saddle' at the center. SuperBowl to the immediate right of the saddle. |
|
| Coming off the ridge into the canyon. The sun had actually turned this rock-hard day into a pretty nice corn day. 3000 vertical feet to go. |
|
| Matt making one of the bunch of turns we made this day. The climbing 'boulevard' is easy to pick out on the ridgetop to the left in this picture. |
|
| Matt executing his exit strategy - making turns lower left corner. The Heather Canyon 'runout' is obvious below and Hood River Meadows below that. |
